sgt1372@Starcade Liked #GhostWar even though it pretty much follows the #JackRyan #TVSeries & doesn't offer anything really new to the series.
Same for #MadMax #FuryRoad which I liked for the "edge" that #TomHardy brought back to the series. Even though he's not that big, Hardy brings a scary intensity to his roles in this film & in other shows that he's starred in like the TV series #Taboo, other movies like the #Revenant & #Warrior which makes him a must see for me in anything that he's starring in.
#ThePost is also a very good film in the journalistic film genre which includes #Spotlight & #AllThePresidentsMen.
Don't recall seeing #Bent. Took a look at a trailer for it. Good cast, thin plot but I may take a look at it if I can find it to stream somewhere.
Spotlight and All the President's Men are some of my favorite films, that I watch regularly. I also periodically watch The Post.
Ghost War was somewhat of a surprise, having never seen the series. While the film is okay, it had higher production values than I anticipated. I may go back and watch the series.
Mad Max Fury Road is one of those over-the-top films, that's just a fun watch.
Bent is a film for which I wasn't familiar, and only watched because it featured Karl Urban-- who is good in the role, in an otherwise forgettable film. His series, The Boys just ended, and I came across the movie by accident. It never had a release here, because the story is somewhat muddled.
Just finished watching #Bent on #Tubi . . .
Not bad. Better than I thought it would be.
A couple of interesting plot twists & liked Vergara in a more serious role counter to the comedic role she played in #ModernFamily. Especially liked the twist at the ending.
1st movie that I've seen Urban in a starring role & I thought he carried it well enough.
Have only seen him before in limited supporting roles in other movies like #LOTR, #StarWars & #Riddick. He also played a key supporting role in one of the #Bourne films.
Not good enough for me to want to buy it but worth watching. I'd give it a 6 out of 10.
